In addition, the official union secretly signed an agreement with management keeping workers in the dark.
Contracts between workers and factory were signed in 2004. But now according to the changed status of employees the workers have neither an employment contract with restructured company, nor are they employees of original state-owned enterprise.
A Deputy Secretary General of the Party Municipal Committee brought a team to the factory to listen to the employee's grievances.
The team said that the Government would come to a decision on the restructuring before April 1. Details are awaited.
